A great weight loss day

    Well the scale has been good to me lately. Keeping off the weight through the holidays is tough but i managed to lose 3 more pounds through all the endless buffets and gourmet meals. Man its good to say thats over. New tip; try to get your metabolism to speed up. I have read a lot about this and what it boils down to is two things; eat breakfast that includes a real protein and keep moving. The breakfast apparently gets your metabolism a kick in the butt first thing in the morning. which also is a good thing i always seem to go to bed a bit hungry so i am definitely ready for a great breakfast first thing. The second is exercise not just for good health but the more muscle you have the better. Muscle kicks your metabolism up as well. Makes sense i know plenty of little guys that can eat and eat and eat and never get fat. Bastards! LOL.

Nice thing when you run into someone you haven't seen in awhile after some weight loss. It really helps motivating me when something is said. Note to self pay attention to the folks around me if they look smaller tell them. If everyone notices and says something about the whole world may one day be skinny!!!!

Please if you have anything to add please post them i know getting an account on here is kind of sucky but maybe your comment will help someone else.

WORD!

Next blog topic lapses. We all have them...

Another Day

Well made it through the visit with family unscathed. Still holding fast at 61 pounds gone. I got some videos from Bob Harper for Christmas. You know the guy from BL. He is tough even my wife struggles with it a bit so i don't feel bad. Kiddos some crazy dancing thing for Christmas and i do it with them which is something i would have never done a year ago. Yay me...Tip of the day; Make every workout count. I mean don't just give an half ass effort you took the time and the motivation to get up and do it so do it with everything you got!

Mad

I happen to wake up early this morning so i watched one of those infomercials. It went on and on about how you can eat more and lose weight. Just send them a pile of money and they will send you a huge packet of pamphlets and crap and thats its you'll lose weight. Well not quite that simple i guess they give you all this stuff to build a meal and exercise plan. WWWEEEELLLLLLL let me explain what angers me about this. It is simple physics burn more calories than you put in your body and you will lose weight.

Tip of the day don't fall for traps. They will hurt you and give you a false sense of security which makes you think oh i'll just get back on it tomorrow which equals cheating just a little here and there and BLAMO fatty boom blatty is back.

I do in fact use weight watchers which is simply a points counter that helps me realize when i am eating to much but is still up to me and me alone to fix it. After all i broke it!!!

Good luck and i hope you we can all survive the holidays without putting on any pounds.

Just Another Day

Well life goes on and the weight loss battle goes on. Looking forward to tomorrow's weigh in i have been really good this week and expect to be rewarded by that dumb scale. Well we went to our last Christmas party tonight and frankly i did very well. Tip of the day use the smallest plate you can find. Also look over the whole buffet before stepping up to the plate...Also start with your favorite veggies this will not leave much room on your plate for that nasty yummy stuff. Next tip; sit down next to the most talkative person you can find at the party this will in turn keep you talking and not eating. Just try it next time. Good luck
